THE ANTS AND TaE PROS.

jackson Talks to the Former and Mrs.
Cairns Curtain Lectures Them.
The antis had meeting at their lot
on Houston street last night, when Mr..
NJ. G. Anderson was introduced by Mr..
W. w. Walling, and delivered an ad-
dress, in which he told the crowd some
important points and amused them with
bis quaint oratory. This done, Captain
Schramm introduced Mr.. A. II. jackson,
who was at one time state lecturer for
the district assembly, knights of Labor,
and he forcibly dealt with two phases OF
the question, the political and the
moral. He described 1t political
ly as the offspring Of an Independent
movement for the subversion of both
parties, and declared that neither demo
Gratis nor republicans could consistently
support it. He pointed out the absurdi-
ty of prohibition, asserting that drink
did man no good and yet reserved it as
a medicine, and he cited the Bible, say
ing Let no man judge you in meat or In
drink" and other scriptural paragraphs,
but said the prohibitionists wanted peo-
pie to believe they were better than
God. He read the celebrated Raney let
ter, which, he said, showed why Bishop
Turner was sent here, and concluded
with logical differences and denuncia.
tons Of political tricksters and fanatics
THE PROS.
Mrs. CAIRNS addressed the prohibition
ist last night on the government lot and
a large crowd was present. The ants
were also largely represented. The
speaker was tastefully dressed and
spoke with considerable point, and gave
the saloon keepers, barmen and drink
traffic generally a scorChing. She was
frequently interrupted by noise, jeered,
and laughed at, but she bore all good
humoredly and hit her opponents by a
witty retOrt.
At the close of her address DIR. Fish
er, OF Austin, arose and with consider
able emphasis said he did not believe in
women taking the platform In a politi-
cal canvass, but since the union has Or
dered so, IL made his manhood boil t.
see the way in which the speaker had
been treated. He compared the crowd
to dogs and applied other unoompli-
mentary epithets concluding by saying
that IL any one didn't like what he said
they knew where to find him. Then
the meeting came to an end.

Thanksgiving.

1t is not necessary to inform our read
ers that tomorrow is the day set part
by the Executives of the Nation and State
for Thanksgiving, and Praise Evidence
that all are aware of the fact appears up
on every hand. The farmers bring IL
his first crop of turkeys, geese, ducks
and chickens and the market man dis
plays large numbers of them in his stalls
and gladly takes orders from the thrifty
housewife who is looking out for the an
nual family feast.
1t is day of gladness in the home life
second only to the gay Christmas time'
and the children and grand children
gather around the bountful board at the
old homestead, full of life, hope and joy.
There are however houses where want
and aggregation stalk and whence this
pure home love and light seems banished-
The thought of those places detract from
the enjoyment of the thoughtful at their
brighter homes, and leads them to seek
out the unfortunate and try to inspire
the forlorn with hope and administer to
the necessities of the destitute.

Commercial Union.

The question of commercial union with
Canada is now attracting unusual atten-
tion and ellciting great deal of discus
sion. Edward Atkinson noted writer
on financial and business topics has writ
ten a letter in which he advocates the
acquisition of the Maratime Province
His plan apparently is to purchase then,
of what power, whether of England, the
Dominion of Canada or each province
separately of itself is not stated. The
Toronto Globe characterizes Mr.. Atkin-
sons proposal as "nonsensicar' and adds
that the Idea of selling the maratne
provinces and their people is exactly as
abhorrent as the idea of selling Mass
achusetts, Vermont, Maine and New
Hampshire would be to Americans in
GENERAL" The Globe thinks such sug-
gestions as Mr.. Atkinson's hurt the good
cluse of Commercial Union of which the
Globe is a warm supporter.
The Eastern Argus has the opinions of
many business men of Portland, on the
question and while there is diversity of
opinion among them as to the desirability
of acquiring New Brunswick and Nova
Scotia, by far the greater number look
upon it as entirely impractical. There is
also diversity Of opinion, as to the eff
feet of revival Of reciprocity or Com
mercial Union between these provinces
and the United States. AS we have the
markets and the provinces have the sur
plus products it is hard for US to see
wherein the free exchange Of products
would be of any benefit to our producers.
We never could see 1t.
